i want you hyunjin || hyunlix

shut up and drive

- hyunjin -

    i'm slightly out of breath as i exit the dance studio after our three-hour practice. i feel pieces of my pink hair sticking to my forehead and neck as i dig through my bag for my phone. turning the corner to the stairwell, i crash into something solid and look up from where i'm rummaging. instantly, i recognize the dark hair and slender frame.

"oh, felix! you stayed?" i ask, happily taken aback. felix stumbles a couple of steps to regain his balance before turning to me.

"hey, hey, watch where you're walking!" he nudges me in the chest with a smile.

     "sorry, sorry," i apologize, smiling back at him. "i thought you left! i was looking for my phone so i could text you."

     "ohhh, excuses, excuses," he teases, rolling his eyes. "i left the room because i needed to post the tiktoks for my job and it felt wrong being on my phone with you dancing in front of me," he explains.

i grab felix's shoulder and tilt my head to the side with a smirk.

     "are you sure it wasn't because i was distracting you?" i ask flirtatiously, expecting him to laugh it off. instead, his adam's apple bobs as he swallows hard. before he has time to answer, seungmin walks around the corner with chan close behind him.

     "you guys should get a room," seungmin states as he walks by.

     "not a bad idea," chan agrees. "speaking of which, i asked that the company start supplying a third car so you guys can get back and forth from the art apartment easier. it should be here today. i'll airdrop you the driver's contact info." i open my phone and with a chime, i receive the new information.

     "thanks."

     "no problem. see you guys tomorrow," chan responds, leaving with a wave.

     "see ya," felix manages, his cheeks still tinged pink with embarrassment from the member's comments.

     "god, you're cute," i breathe, grabbing him by the wrist and leading him towards the exit. walking out the door, i see a black car with a man i don't recognize standing outside it.

     "who are you here for?" i ask him.

     "mr. hwang hyunjin and...," he reads off one of the papers in his hand. "...mr. lee felix."

     "great, that's us," i reply, opening the door to the backseat. still holding felix's wrist, i slide all the way over so he can climb in on the same side. the black leather seats are polished and i notice the scent of "new car smell". my eye catches on the privacy partition which is open so the driver can talk to us.

     "mr. chan gave me the address, does this look right?" the driver asks, now sitting behind the wheel. he indicates the directions on the car's screen. i let go of felix's wrist as i lean forward to peer through the partition.

     "yes, that's it. could we please make a stop at mcdonald's first? to order at the drive-thru?"

     "that shouldn't be a problem," the man responds and felix and i grin at each other before buckling our seat belts with a click.
